we're leaving for the beach at 5am tomorrow morning. brian went to virginia this evening to buy a boat (probably) and he's bringing it back tonight - yes, to sit beside the OTHER boat that lives in front of our house - and then we have to get it to the beach early so he can park it there.

before you think we need to be on mtv cribs/boats, let me divulge. boat #1 doesn't run. hasn't ever. since he's had it. it just sitssitssitisstisits in front of our house. and its big. so its all in front. just the boat.

he's selling that one on ebay. i was sort of amused he did so much mentioning of me in the ad. crazy, huh? you'd think i WANTED him to get rid of it? anyways, he wrote a novel about it. i was oddly impressed when i read it.

in conclusion, have a great long weekend. avoid laboring at all costs. buy brian's boat, and holla at your girl.

i've always liked this pear wall hanging by marimekko from CB2.i first liked this fruit idea when i saw sarah jessica parker's kitchen at her house in the hamptons. the apple prints are like 9348hundred dollars, so the pear route might be a better option.

we have so many tomatoes in the summer -- we grow them, my dad grows them and gives them to us, my mother-in-law brings them to us from the farmer's marker -- we have to start thinking of new things to do with them.

the usual is with fresh mozzarella and basil - you can't go wrong with that.

last week, we had diced tomatoes, garbanzo beans, 1 small red onion, juice of 1 lime, fresh cilantro and fresh corn off the cob all mixed together. it turned out delicious!
